April 2002 in “Animal Science” The study investigated the effects of intradermal spermidine injections on wool follicle growth in Merino lambs. Three groups of eight lambs received different concentrations of spermidine injections on a small skin patch, with saline as a control on the opposite side. Results showed that spermidine increased the concentration in the skin and stimulated cell division in the follicle bulb, with higher doses leading to greater increases. Fibre length growth rate was also higher with spermidine, although fibre diameter did not change significantly. The study concluded that spermidine injections altered skin spermidine homeostasis, stimulated cell proliferation, and increased fibre growth.
